Should You Pull for The Herta, Lingsha, Feixiao, Jade, Aglaea, Boothill, Robin, or Silver Wolf in HSR 3.0?

Version 3.0 of Honkai: Star Rail is one of the most exciting yet overwhelming updates in the game, with eight banners—two new characters and six reruns—spanning across two phases. This guide breaks down each character's strengths, weaknesses, and who should prioritize pulling for them. Let’s dive in!

Phase 1 Characters

1. The Herta (5★ Ice, Erudition)

Role: AoE DPS
Herta excels as an AoE Ice DPS with mechanics that benefit from teammates triggering her abilities. She's particularly strong in scenarios with multiple enemies.

• Pros:

  • High AoE damage output.
  • Synergizes well with other Erudition units.
  • Ideal for clearing multi-target content.

• Cons:

  • Limited single-target damage.
  • May not offer much if you already have strong Ice DPS like Yanqing.

Who Should Pull:

• Players lacking an AoE Ice DPS.
• Those wanting a versatile DPS for general content.
  Pull Priority: High (if AoE DPS is a need).

2. Jade (5★ Quantum, Erudition)

Role: AoE DPS and Team Buffer
Jade complements Herta with AoE Quantum damage and buffs for Erudition allies. She’s a great teammate for Herta but can feel niche outside of her synergy.

• Pros:

  • Excellent Quantum AoE DPS.
  • Buffs favoring AoE allies.

• Cons:

  • Limited versatility; struggles in teams that don’t benefit from her buffs.
  • Suboptimal for single-target scenarios.

Who Should Pull:

• Players with Herta looking for synergy.
• Those lacking Quantum DPS.
  Pull Priority: Moderate (if you have Herta or need Quantum DPS).

3. Feixiao (5★ Wind, Hunt)

Role: Single-Target DPS
Feixiao is a dedicated single-target DPS with exceptional damage output. She shines in boss battles and low-target scenarios.

• Pros:

  • High single-target damage.
  • Synergizes with frequent-attack teammates like Topaz and Robin.

• Cons:

  • Struggles in multi-target content.
  • Performs best with specific teammates.

Who Should Pull:

• Players needing single-target Wind DPS.
• Those with teams built around frequent attackers.
  Pull Priority: Moderate (situationally excellent).

4. Lingsha (5★ Fire, Abundance)

Role: Sustainer with Break Effect Synergy
Lingsha offers top-tier healing and respectable damage through break effects, making her an excellent choice for sustainability and break-based teams.

• Pros:

  • Reliable healing.
  • High synergy with break-focused teams.
  • Adds significant team damage in AoE scenarios.

• Cons:

  • SP inefficiency compared to other sustainers.
  • Less essential if you already have sustain units.

Who Should Pull:

• Players lacking sustain options.
• Break-focused team builders.
  Pull Priority: Moderate (for specific team comps).

Phase 2 Characters

5. Aglaea (5★ Lightning, Remembrance)

Role: Speed-Scaling DPS
Aglaea is the first limited Remembrance character, combining speed-based scaling with high DPS potential.

• Pros:

  • High damage output with speed synergy.
  • Pairs well with Robin and Sundan.

• Cons:

  • Requires investment in speed-based teams.
  • Redundant if you already have strong Lightning DPS.

Who Should Pull:

• Players needing a Lightning DPS or looking to prepare for future speed meta teams.
  Pull Priority: High (as a limited debut unit).

6. Robin (5★ Physical, Harmony)

Role: Team Buffer
Robin is one of the most versatile supports, providing universal buffs and action advantage to teammates.

• Pros:

  • Synergizes with almost all team compositions.
  • Adds immense value to both current and future teams.

• Cons:

  • Hard to master due to specific timing requirements.
  • Requires investment in fast teammates.

Who Should Pull:

• Anyone lacking a top-tier support.
• Those looking to future-proof their teams.
  Pull Priority: Very High (universal value).

7. Boothill (5★ Physical, Hunt)

Role: Single-Target DPS
Boothill excels in single-target scenarios, especially when paired with buffers like Robin.

• Pros:

  • Exceptional single-target damage.
  • Flexible due to weakness implant on ultimate.

• Cons:

  • Requires Robin for optimal performance.
  • Niche and less efficient without proper investment.

Who Should Pull:

• Players focused on single-target content with support from Robin.
  Pull Priority: Low to Moderate (very situational).

8. Silver Wolf (5★ Quantum, Nihility)

Role: Debuffer with Weakness Implantation
Silver Wolf’s utility has been overshadowed by newer units, making her less appealing unless you lack a dedicated Nihility unit.

• Pros:

  • Adds elemental weakness to enemies.
  • Decent single-target debuffs.

• Cons:

  • Outclassed by newer debuffers.
  • Limited value due to her single-target focus.

Who Should Pull:

• Those needing a Nihility unit and enjoy her aesthetic/playstyle.
